Questions about labor/delivery for second child.

ok so i've been wondering this...... i'm on my second child. my first was born at 42 weeks and even then she had to be induced. is my second possibly going to be the same? how was it for anyone else if you can remember? were you late, early, about the same?

My first came unexpectedly at 34 weeks. We're about a week and half past that now and I've found a whole new respect for full term/overdue Mamas! I don't want another preemie or another experiance with the NICU but I am thinking that 37 or 38 weeks sounds just perfect :)

I was induced with my 1st at 39 weeks, 5 days. My 2nd came on his own at 37 weeks, 2 days. This one, they were worried at 34 weeks that she was coming already. So far it's been another 2 weeks and she's still in there cooking. The doctors have given me the go ahead that all is good and she can come at anytime, so I'm hoping she starts listening!!

Thank you all for letting me know what you went through, very helpful information. Just figured if most pregnancies were similar in people then i could mentally prepare myself to not go into labor until 42 weeks again but doesn't sound like i can do that since no one seems to be the same lol. So looks like i'll have to wait and see =@) i'm really hoping he doesn't stay in there for 42 week but i guess that's really up to him lol. my daughter is stubborn so her staying in there really fit her personality haha.
